My car has 93k miles (Manufactured Date 11/2017) and is having the engine issues like everyone else (Limp mode code P1326). I had the update done previously so I'm told my warranty was extended to 150k. The dealership is replacing the engine under the warranty but is requiring that I pay $2,600+...

Hi All, I have decided to swap out my 2014 Base MT 1.6L engine. Already purchased a reman unit from Kia, along with the service update parts. I want to do this out the top, engine only, rather than engine/trans out the bottom, as the Kia service manual specifies. I have yet to find a forum post...

Story time! I have a model year 2016 Soul base with the 6 speed transmission. The only significant mods are the factory cruise control, stereo head unit, and a bunch of crumbs on the nice Weathertech mats. Oh, OEM roof rack, but that has no bearing on the engine condition like the rest of the...

Hello, I am replacing the engine in my 2016 Base Manual, doing it DIY. And I see with my engine order there are a couple of "Service Kits'" to be installed along with a new knock sensor and fuel tube assembly. Does anyone in Soul Forum land know what the two service kits are? I was told by the...

Just checked the engine. Is this bolt missing or that's how it is???

Hello everyone! I am new here, and a new Kia Soul owner. I recently bought a 2015 Kia Soul 1.6 Base at auction, with a few problems that I have already repaired. The car runs and drives with just 2 final problems, before I can take it on the road; but I will only mention the important problem...

Hi! So I’m brand spanking new to this forum, I’ve had my Soul since 2013, the first and only owner. I have about 97000 miles on it and I think I’ve done a pretty good job with maintenance and upkeep- I took it in every 3-5k miles and had whatever mileage work that needed to be done at the...

Hello i just found this site after scouring the internet for issues im having w my soul. Apologies in advance if this isn’t formatted correctly. I got my car a little over a year ago and within the last 4 months ish I’ve had issue after issue. (Context: I got it from a Kia dealership, though it...

Hi guys, I have a rattle noise coming from the engine when is cold, only when I start the engine in the morning or at night when it hasn't started during the day. The dealer tried to recreate the issue with no luck. It is a rattle that comes from the passenger side, and it only starts when I...

So I own a 2017 Kia Soul 2.0. I am the only owner it was purchased brand new. I kept up with my maintenance and did everything I was supposed to do. However, 4 weeks ago after a day of shopping and no issues with the vehicle all of a sudden I am sitting at a stop sign getting ready to turn and...

Guys I am FREAKING out. My 2016 just hit about 65k. I've only had it since 42k. Done regular maintenance. Just had the oil changed. But now it sounds like an engine knocking.....like it needs oil? It almost sounds like a weed Wacker clicking. The sound is coming from the passenger side by the...

Hey guys - first time here. I have read a lot of the posts on the 2.0 rod / rod bearing situation. My Soul gave me the warning last Thursday "Engine Control System". I was almost to the end of the exit ramp. At the end of the ramp I heard a clicking or knocking sound coming from the right side...

I recently installed a set of stiffer lower engine mount bushings from Rev Motoring. (sometimes called torque mount or dogbone mount.) It keeps the engine and transmission from rotating forward and back, and when you're driving it hard, the soft mounts allow it to move around pretty violently...

This short video shows what a failed rod bearing looks like inside your engine leading to "spun" rod and the infamous "ticking" noise. Watch until the end when they say what can cause this type of engine failure. Check your oil often! 👍

Hi everyone, first time posting here, but I've lurked for awhile and exhausted the search feature without success. Does anyone know where the Kia Soul 2016 2.0l engine block heater cavity is? Engine block heaters for this car are the cartridge style where they are inserted into the pre-built...

I thought I'd share this video that easily explains engine blow-by, especially with GDI engines, and why oil catch cans can play a preventative role in avoiding costly problems down the road: Also, here's a video showing what engine blow-by looks like in an extreme circumstance (piston...

Hi! I have a 2010 denim special edition (2.0L) It has 167k miles. One day about two weeks ago I went to run some errands on my lunch break and was turning into a parking spot when the engine just very quietly died. In fact I didn’t even realize what really happened at first - just noticed I had...
